To support my Safaricom bellweather theory...last time the NSE bottomed out was Jan 2009...the index was at 2300...Safaricom was at 2.53...the index then gained 1200 points to reach 3500 by October 2010...Safcom was at 5.95...the share seemed to peak at that level although the bourse went on to rally above 4000, the weakness in the momentum was there to see...if u remember there was a mini bear come Nov-Dec this was followed by a sharp rally in January where the NSE picked at 4600...Safaricom was at 4.70...since then Safaricom and NSE has never seen those levels again...so depending where Safaricom's out in the next few month or years thats where the NSE will bottom out...my 2 cents..

@Thedeal is it a case of safcom following the mkt, or the mkt following safcom?

Things are whats the word...... THICK. Im wondering...... we all knew this time would come, but we thought it would be around election time, it has come a full year ahead of schedule.
Does this mean that this will last till after election? or the bear may even get worse than we earlier thought as we near election? Or could their be another twist yet again, as it has already? just thinking out loud.

@ajamaatrying, IMHO this bear has nothing to do with perceived political risk or fundamentals but is due to the economic weaknesses in the west and the foreign investors pulling money out of risky assets and markets. By elections time this market will be so undervalued, if political risk is factored.
It is political risk & economic fundamentals. [Yes, the 'Western' economic woes do hurt us but less than people think]
1) Politics Kenya-style make investors wary. They want SAFE HAVENS not upheavals. Rwanda shows a steady hand & has attracted FDI. Others are Mauritius, Botswana, Switzerland, etc
2) Economic Fundamentals - When I invest in 'other' countries, I want a stable currency OR be compensated for FX losses. (1) has affected (2) where our newspapers & TVs are full of politics not business!
3) Foreign Investors - Most of the investment on the NSE is local not foreign except the huge foreign investors who I call 'permanent' investors like Barclays PLC & Diageo who are unlikely to sell their stakes on the NSE.
- Barclays, SCB, Diageo, KLM etc are in Kenya for the long-term & would generally sell their entire stake

i know we 1st have to close below 2.55 - all time low - for two consecutive days to open up sub 1 bob. But the huge vol we saw last week make sub 1 bob ever so close. Other than that the index is targeting 3k mark and saf will take it there .

Quite interesting to note that if you stretch the NSE chart back 10yrs (back to 2001) the lowest low is in the 1000s level. If you use this as the lowest reference for a trendline and the March 2009 low of 2360, the next low of the trendline is around 3020 - 3080. As long as 3000 is not broken down, the NSE is still in a bull trend as per the 10yr chart! Should 3000 be broken down emphatically, then a test of 2360 will be on the cards and will mean that the 10yr bull trend has been violated. An outcome that could lead the market into a long period (2 - 3 yrs) of loss consolidation - sideways market trend until the bull returns.
In 2003 - 2004 (2600 - 2800) was a support zone for the bull up to the 2007 top - 6161.

So will the 3000 level get violated?

Why I focus on the downside is if you use the same trendline to form a triangle when you use the tops from 6161, 4667 (2010) and 4579 (2011) the break of 3000 will be very bearish. On the flip side, a test and defence of 3000 will mean that the rebounds biggest barrier will be 3900 - 4100 level on the falling tops trendline. If this is cleared with vigour, then the bull will look to test 4400-4600 before aiming for 5000. At 5000, a lot of resistance will be encountered as it was a consolidation (support) level in late 2007 and early 2008. A clear break of this level will open up the challenge of 6000. Time will tell when...

Now for some bizarre analogy...

In 2010 - the top 4667 was tested in 05/08/2010 and 25/10/2010.

In 2007 - the market peak at 6161 which was on 11/01/2007.

In 2011 - the market peaked at 4579 which was on 11/01/2011.

Something weird about 11th January...

So if the current market was to follow the trend of 2007 which saw the bear hit a low of 2360 in March 5th 2009 i.e. 26 months, that means the current bear trend should also target March 2013. Indeed a long bear it will be and won't be helped by an upcoming election with a noisy european default scenario and a recessing US economy with a slowing down Ching economy... A powder keg cocktail scenario d'oh!

Sounds like Greek to me, or expert econometrics or whatever it is you call it. I for one am clueless but for the conclusions which are credible. I suppose that you have taken into account the change in how the NSE index is determined after Safcom was listed n therefore ur projections are consistent or at least determined that it does not matter one way or the other.
